In this important episode, I dive headfirst into the growing controversy surrounding RFK Jr’s comments about autism—specifically, his discredited claim that vaccines cause autism. If you’ve seen the viral RFK Jr “full-blown autism” rant or caught the buzz from outlets like Fox News or social media, you know this topic is sparking debate everywhere.
But here’s the thing: these claims aren’t just wrong—they’re dangerous. As someone from the autistic community, I’m breaking down the facts behind this myth, the damage it causes, and why it’s critical that we push back with real science, lived experience, and compassion.
🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn:
What RFK Jr actually said about autism and vaccines
The long-debunked vaccine-autism myth and how it persists
The real-life impact these statements have on autistic people and their families
Why misinformation harms the neurodivergent community
How to respond to anti-science narratives with truth and clarity
This isn’t just a reaction video—it’s a call for critical thinking, media literacy, and autism acceptance rooted in truth and respect.
